discovering available 3 character domains
Saturday, September 26th, 2009I have just rediscovered www.sedo.com which lets you park your domains in the hope that someone will want to purchase it. The parked page has advertising which you do get a decent pay out for, for the two clicks i’ve received it’s already made 0.11 euros which isn’t too bad considering i’ve only had it up for 2-3 days.
I have added 21 of my domains, including 3 LNL.net domains. What I did notice tho is LLL.coms and LLL.nets go for quite a small fortune. So how can we make a quick buck?
I’ve done a few searches on google, found a list of expiring domains, which funnily enough I have came across a website that stores up-to-date text files full of upcoming expiring domains - all formatted nicely by sorting out the dates by text file.
so this is what I’ve done:
wget -r http://www.wsmdomains.com/ExpiredDomains/
cd www.wsmdomains.com/ExpiredDomains/
grep ^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9].COM$ *
this will go through each file, check to see if there are any 3 letter .COM domains. You can be more strict with the search and try your luck with 3 LETTER domains by doing the following
grep ^[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z].COM$ *
I’ve picked up a few decent domains, so i’ll try my luck on this sedo thing and keep this blog posted.
